Download or read book How the Spanish Empire Was Built written by Felipe Fernández-Armesto and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2024-05-06 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The untold story of the engineering behind the empire, showing how imperial Spain built upon existing infrastructure and hierarchies of the Inca, Aztec, and more, to further its growth. Sixteenth-century Spain was small, poor, disunited, and sparsely populated. Yet the Spaniards and their allies built the largest empire the world had ever seen. How did they achieve this? Felipe Fernández-Armesto and Manuel Lucena Giraldo argue that Spain’s engineers were critical to this venture. The Spanish invested in infrastructure to the advantage of local power brokers, enhancing the abilities of incumbent elites to grow wealthy on trade, and widening the arc of Spanish influence. Bringing to life stories of engineers, prospectors, soldiers, and priests, the authors paint a vivid portrait of Spanish America in the age of conquest. This is a dazzling new history of the Spanish Empire, and a new understanding of empire itself, as a venture marked as much by collaboration as oppression.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the remarkable history of the Spanish Empire... The Spanish Empire was the first truly global empire and the first to be described as one on which "the sun never sets." It rapidly grew to become one of the largest and most powerful empires in the history of the world and brought us goods such as potatoes, chocolate, and chewing gum. Yet in the Middle Ages, Spain as we now know it did not exist. Most of the north of the Iberian Peninsula was ruled by two powerful Christian kingdoms, Castile and Aragon, while the southern part was al-Andalus, an Islamic kingdom that had originated in North Africa. By the end of the fifteenth century, al-Andalus had been defeated, the peninsula was united under Christianity, and Spain had become one of the most powerful countries in Europe. Then, Spanish explorers discovered the Americas. Unimaginable wealth flowed from the New World to Spain, increasing its power even further. Over vast tracts of territory in the Americas and lands in Asia, Spanish became the dominant language and Catholic Christianity the dominant religion, all as a direct result of Spanish imperialism. Barely three hundred years later, the Spanish Empire collapsed. Almost all its colonial possessions gained independence or were acquired by other countries. How could this happen? How did Spain come to dominate the world and then abruptly lose its power? This is the astonishing story of the rise and fall of the Spanish Empire. Discover a plethora of topics such as Reconquista: Ousting the Muslims Spanish Control in the Americas The Habsburgs Treasure Fleets and Poverty Napoleon: The Spanish Ulcer The Fall of the Spanish Empire And much more!

This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 826 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rise of the Spanish Empire in the Old World and in the New, Vol. 4: Philip the Prudent The composition of this final volume of my Rise of the Spanish Empire has been spread over a period of nine years, and has suffered from constant interruptions; but I can truthfully say that I have spent much more time and labor on it than on any of its predecessors, and that it is based to a far greater extent than were they, on manuscript sources. I hope, some day, to be permitted to fortify its conclusions by the publication of a number of documents, which I have collected during the past twenty years in the archives of Spain, France, and England, and prepared for the press. The possibilities of new discoveries in this field are still infinite, and it is as inexplicable as it is unfortunate that more English and American scholars are not tempted to explore them. I trust that the appearance, during the last five years, of four different lives of Philip II (ci. Infra, p. 75) all in rather lighter vein will not deter prospective readers from the perusal of the somewhat solider pages Which follow. The program Which I set myself to carry out When I began more than twenty years ago to write this book, committed me of necessity to painstaking analysis of many topics not in themselves dramatic; and I feel strongly that at the moment better service can be rendered, not only to scholars but also to the general reading public, by careful investi gation of the period as a whole, than by merely concentrating on the picturesque.
